Section 3 — System Operation
Setting Up Resource Sharing
Preparation
Kalypso version 8.0 or later software must be installed on all the Kalypso
system components. Existing configuration files from earlier versions of
software will be converted for use when they are loaded on the Kalypso
system.
Your Kalypso system should first be fully operational. The configuration
files loaded above will accomplish this on an existing Kalypso system. For
new customers, an initial system configuration will be required. This basic
setup will become the baseline for Suite 1 operation. This includes having
the Engineering Setup configured with the sources defined, Suite 1 outputs
assigned, Suite 1 tally contacts connected and serial tally defined (if used),
and any external interfaces (DPM, DDR, etc.) should be installed and oper-
ational that will be used in Suite 1.
Default Suite Prefs should also be defined and saved under a file name
identifying its use for Suite 1. A default User Prefs file should also be
defined and saved identifying it as a default setting for Control Surface A
of Suite 1. All these files will become the starting point from which changes
will be made to make full use of Resource Sharing.
When the above is accomplished and basic system functionality is con-
firmed, you can then activate Multi Suite mode, set up Suite 2, and more
easily troubleshoot any configuration issues that may arise.
If you will be adding new Kalypso system components for use with
Resource Sharing, all these components must be installed and configured
on the network, using valid IP addresses. All control surfaces participating
in Resource Sharing will also need to be in communication with the same
Kalypso Video Processor frame. After the primary Main panel has been
installed and its connectivity verified, one new panel should be installed
and its connectivity also verified before you install any additional panels.
This will make it easier to troubleshoot any IP addressing problems that
may occur.
Prepare Worksheet
A worksheet is helpful for planning your multi-suite installation and con-
figuration. The worksheet should list all panels and PCs running the Menu
application, their IP addresses, and their Suite and Control Surface associ-
ations (if any). It should also list all Remote Aux panels, which Suite they
belong to, and which Control Surface (if any) they should be associated
with. Physical outputs should also be listed with their Suite association and
which Fixed output or Aux bus they are associated with. This list should
also list the destination of the output (main program out for the suite, Aux
bus feeding the studio monitor wall, etc.).
